Filed Jan. 10, 1930 ATTORNEY Patented May 10, 1932 n. Lemon, or srnncnn, INDIANA BAG `Application tiled January 10, v1.930. Serial No. 419,919.

This invention relates to improvements in bags, an` object being to provide a bag or container, whereby nut-meats and like small p eatable articles may be attractively displayed for sale.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a bag for the above purpose which may be made of thin transparent material such as cellophane or other pyroxyline malo terial, and removably secured upon a card for Y displaying sale, novel means being provided for reinforcing and closing the bottom of the body and providing means for carrying an attractive advertisement or display.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a bag, which is so constructed as to prevent the contents from reaching the extreme bottom of the bag, so that the bags when arranged for display, will compactly overlap one another and the bottoms of the bags will remain flat so that the advertising matter may be plainly and attractively presented.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a bag which is simple in construction, novel and attractive in appearance and which will keep its contents fresh for a relatively long period. f

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation showing a portion of a display card with a number of bags attached.

Figure 2 is an edge view of the same.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Figure l.

Figure 4 is an elevation of the bag.

Figures 5, 6 and 7 are enlarged sectionaL views taken substantially on the line 5-5, 6 6, and 7-7 of Figure 4.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates the bod of the bag which, as stated, may be made o cellophane or other pyroxyline material. The body may be thus thin and iiexible, as well as transparent, and the character of the material will act to protect and keep the contents of the bag in a .fresh and sanitary condition for a relatively long period.

Lying wholly within one end of the bag and embraced thereby is a relatively thick stiif strip 11, and this strip is provided withv an extension 12 which is offset over one edge co of the strip and extends upward into the bag. The strip is secured by Wire stitching as at 13 and 14, the last referred to stitching passing through the extension 12 so that the'body of the bag will be closely attached upon the opposite sides of this extension. rIhe body 1() is of fiat tubular construction and for this purpose a seam 14 is provided by overlapping the ends of a sheet of material and securing these overlapping ends together by suitable adhesive as indicated at 15.

The strip 11 is designed to contain suitable advertising and display matter and by placing the same Within the body a polished like effectV is provided for the advertising matter so that the attractive appearance of the bag will be increased. By means of the extension 12 and the stitching 14, the contents of the bag is prevented from passing entirely to the bottom as shown in Figures 8o 1 and 2vof the drawings', so that the material 10 of the body will lie flat upon the face of the strip 11 and the advertising matter upon this strip will not present a distorted appearance.

The top of thebag is gathered as indicated at 16 and is secured to a display card 17 by means of a staple 18.

The manner of constructing the bag and of attaching the same to the display card 17 acts to exclude air and dust, so that the con- Having described the invention what is claimed 1. In a bag, a transparent body, a single relative .thick stiff strip of material located within and embraced by the body at one end thereof and solely closing the bottom of the same, and means to secure the strip within the body.

2. In a ba a transparent body, a sin le relatively thlck stiff stri of material ocated within and embrace by the body at one end thereof and solely closing the bottom of the same, and staples fastened throu h said body and-strip to secure the latter Wit in the body.

3. In a bag, a transparent body, a single relatively thick stili' strip of material located within and' embraced by the body at one end thereof and solely closing the bottom of the same, a projection extending centrally from one edge of the strip and into the body, and staples passing through the strip to secure the latter within the body, one of said staples passing through the extension.

4. In a bag, a transparent body, a combined bottom closure, a stiff reinforcing and advertising stri located wholly Within the body and exten ing transversely of one end of the body and solely closing the bottom of the same, and means to secure the strip to the body.

5. In a bag, a transparent body, a closure at one end thereof l 'ng Wholly within said end to be embraced y said body and solely closing the bottom of the same, and means passing through the closure and the body to secure the closure within the bod 6. In a bag, a transparent body and a stapled strip within and embraced by 'the body at one end thereof and solely closing the bottom of the same.

7. In a bag, a transparent body provided with an open bottom end, a single relatively thick still' strip of material located Within and embraced by the body at said end thereof to form a bottom closure, and means to secure the strip within the body.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
